IMPROVEMENT lN TOBACCO-PIPES.

Specification formingpart of Letters Patent No. 173,304, dated February8, 1876; application filed December 9, 1875.

To all whom it may concern.-

Beit known that l, JOSEPH J. LANG, of the city, county, and State of NewYork, have in vented a new and useful Improvement in Tobacco-Pipes,which improvement is. fully set forth in the following specification,reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is asection of my improved tube or chamber intended to hold the tobacco.Fig. 2 is a section of the'detachable bottom with smoke-passage, towhich the tube or tobaccochamber can be attached. Fig. 3 is a section ofan ordinary stem, to which the bottom can be attached when they are notmade in one piece.' Fig. 4 is a vertical" section -.of' my improvement.Fig. 5 shows the bottom piece and stem in one piece.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

My invention consists of a tobacco-pipe the bowl of which is open atboth ends, the lower end being connected by means of an. intermediatepiece, perforated preferably throughv the center, with a base-piece andstem formed in one piece, and provided with a chamber for the collectionand reception of the nicotine, as

more fully hereinafter set'forth.

The letter A designates the tube or tobaccobhamber; the letter B, theseparate detachable bottom piece, which is perforated for thesmoke-passage, as is seen in this example at O. The tube A can befastened to the bottom piece in different ways, either by screwing themtogether, or by frictional contact, or otherwise, or by connecting themwith metal or other screws.

The base B and the stem O'are made of one piece, and can be made fromWood, metal, or other materials, with a chamber, a, for the collectionand reception of nicotine.

The construction of a pipe whereby the tobaccochamber can beseparatedfrom the bottom gives to the smoker the opportunity of cleaning the pipewith the least inconvenience, and in a more thorough manner than couldbe done with tobacco-bowls as heretofore constructed.

The tobacco tube or chamber of the pipe can be constructed of eitherwood, metal, clay,

meerschaum, or any other material, and can i be made with less cost andlabor than any tobacco-bowl heretofore constructed, as smaller pieces ofwood, or other material used, can be employed, which manufacturersheretofore have thrown away as waste.

What I claim'as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a tobacco-pipe, the combination of the bowl A, open at both ends,with the intermediate section B, base B, and stem 0, said base and stembeing formed in one piece, and all constructed and arrangedsubstantially as de-.

scribed. v

In testimony thatI claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand andseal this 4th day of December, 1875.
